May 9 | 6:30 am205 W. Jefferson St., in front of the Board of Supervisors Auditorium

The 5th Annual 2018 Fitness Day Walk was a success! Maricopa County and City of Phoenix laced up their walking shoes and took selfies as they strolled around the concourse of Chase Field before starting their work day. If you have a photo you'd like to share, post it to #wellnessworkswalk. A big thank you to everyone who participated!

Making time for wellness can be tricky. Join Teresa Salama, Certified Wellness Practitioner and Health Policy Analyst from Maricopa County Department of Public Health, and Jordan Smith, Wellness Supervisor, to learn how to fit wellness into your daily routine.

Join Wellness Works, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and other County vendors for the 2018 Benefits & Wellness Fair. Learn more about various programs, ask questions, participate in interactive booths, and collect free wellness swag. The first 100 attendees will receive a Wellness Works bag.

We know it can be difficult to find the time to schedule an exam. That's why Maricopa County offers Mobile Onsite Mammography screenings for employees. MOM uses the latest technology and accommodates implant patients.

Maricopa County medical plans cover the cost of a preventive mammogram for women as early as age 40, every one to two years, or at any age for women at risk, when recommended by a physician. The medical plans also cover 3-D Mammograms for breast cancer screening.

Like the 2-D mammograms, 3-D mammograms are covered at zero cost share if they are part of your in-network preventive care. Check with your healthcare provider to determine which type of mammogram (2-D or 3-D) is best for you.

Visit the Wellness Works website for the MOM schedule. Call 480-967-3767 or 800-285-0272 to schedule an appointment.
